the purpose of the preliminary task was to give us an idea of how our filming process will be, how to use equipment such a tripod and editing software to remove any unwanted scene to have a continuous edit. it allowed us to understand what each member in the group is good at and locate what areas would need some improvement.

Difficulties you encountered whilst filming
while doing our preliminary task, we encountered a few problems such background noise coming from students walking around the school, this prevented us from talking to one another as we were always disturbed and afraid of picking up any background noise in our recording. another problem we encountered was that we did not know when we had enough scenes to stop recording, so we just had to create many scenes hoping it would be 30 seconds which also meant that we would a lot to do when it come to editing.

As it was our first time editing on an IMac and using the Final cut pro software , we had to familiarise ourselves with it first as we struggled on retrieving the videos located on the SD card and importing it into the final cut pro application to start editing. we also had some trouble saving our final video which had to be exported and saved along with the original videos in the same location.
What have you learned?
from the preliminary task I gain a bit of knowledge on how the whole filming process works, knowing what needs to taking into consideration, for example choosing a suitable and quiet environment, planning out scenes in advance and having the correct equipment. I also learned how to edit which I thought it was really beneficial as I was able to edit our video on my own due to the absence of my team mate and I think this skill can be useful in similar circumstances in the future.
Conclusion: How has the task beneficial
the preliminary task was beneficial because it gave us an idea of what is expected from each members and thought us how a slight mistake can effect a the whole production. I learned the importance of working as a team, planning out before producing and being responsible in role we all undertook. in addition we also learned how to operate the cameras, deciding what shot and angle should be used to make the scene symbolic and lastly how to edit it.

This is a good start - you need to get the video into your post and sort out the bit about roles (look next to Josh's name??)
